How to Make a DIY Bathtub Plug

Smooth it firmly into place and then fill the bathtub up like normal. If you don’t have duct tape on hand – keep reading, we have more ideas below.

Take a washcloth (a small sponge will also work) and saturate it with water. Press it into the hole to plug it, and fill the tub like normal.

Use a plastic or styrofoam cup and place it face down with the mouth of the cup over the drain. As the water starts to fill up it will create a vacuum and seal the drain opening.

The rubber end of the plunger will definitely create a water tight seal but unless you have a brand new, never been used plunger then then this is not a good idea.

An empty single-serve pod seems like it would be the ideal size and shape to use as a one-time solution for a bath plug, unfortunately if the Keurig cup is used it will have a small hole in the bottom that will allow the water to drain through.

A plastic lid seems like it would be one of the better alternative bath plugs but unless you have something weighing it down to create a seal it will just float up once you start adding water.
